Go to a dealer and buy part # 56028187AE and your lights should go off, this is a common problem. I see this problem almost daily. Don't pay for a diagnosis, TRUST me this will fix your problem. Or call me at 1-800-663-2522 and ask for David and i will ship you one. I removed the price from this post because they have increased in price since the original post of 10 years ago.

I dont know what kind of electronics knowledge you have, but there is an easy way to diagnose the sensor if you know how to use a multimeter. or if you know how much resistance the sensor has you can go buy a resistor at radioshack for like $0.10 and wire it between...if you have the right resistor and wire it correctly the light will go out confirming that its the rwal sensor. any auto tech should be able to do that or use a scan tool to confirm it.

Thank You for the info!!
Now, if I could get Dodge to help out with the air problem that it seems many of these trucks have in the evaporator.....mileage is only 59k.

Yet again same problem with my dodge ram 1500 4X2 Sport w/ 360 5.9L. I also lifted it 5" and put 33"s on there. There is my problem. The 33s screwed up my calibration in my computer. I went to summitracing and bought a Jet Accu-Speed recalibrater ($150 well spent). This will solve the problem and give you smoother shifting and a few extra horse power if you have modified the tire size.

I have a 1998 4x4 and my ABS and brake light come on after my pedal goes soft.. I have changed my brakes all the way around along with checking the fluid and still no help. I have notice that my rear wheels will lock up when on a slick surface. I just got my truck back from the shop and they said they could not find anything at this time. HELP!!

Default Loose sensor wire

Found one of the wires leading into the ABS sensor plug has pulled out of its socket. Does anyone know if its possible to get this re-pinned?
